There are just under 2m 360's in the UK compared to just 850,000 PS3's so A 61/39% split means proportionally Devil May Cry has performed better on the PS3. Basically there are over twice as many 360's there because it was released a year earlier but DMC4 didnt sell twice as many units.

Where are you getting your figures from???

The overall percentage is based on world wide sales not just UK.

Over 17.7million 360's sold vs under 9million PS3's sold world wide.
XBOX 360 Resident Evil Edition Elite, Sony HTSF1100 5.1 surround system, Samsung 40inch R74 720p HDTV + 60GB Playstation 3

WTF are you on about? The percentage he's referring to (61%) is for the sales of Devil may Cry 4, in the UK, last week.

But even your own figures 17.7 versus 9 million shows a 2:1 ratio of 360 to PS3. So you'd expect the sales split of a title to be 66%/33% - so Devil May Cry 4 has had a higher attach rate on the PS3. But that's not surprising, since Devil May Cry 1,2 and 3 were all PlayStation titles.


Will I still be soiled, when the dirt is off?

it's clear that WWWWWWWW is still waiting for his copy of DMC4 to load 6gigs on his PS3 harddrive before he can play the game so has to post fanboy crap in the mean time.

It's 4.8 gigs.

If you are going to make stupid comments atleast make them accurate. That way you make other people look stupid not yourself.

The fan base is closer to Sony so that's why it has a higher chance of selling better on the PS3....Not becuase there are more consles out there though that is a factor.

And like Capcom said...Go make a sandwhich while you wait.
